A Skype plugin to Boxee or similar would be a useful feature. Granted I'd still need a simple Skype solution for my mother....but I don't think anyone is building a single button solution.
WARNING: Necro-bump.
We picked up one of
these. It works reasonable well, and a lot better then plugging the laptop into TV and using that. For $99 it is a no brainer, so I sent one to my sister in Ireland, and it was plug & play, just needed a physical adapter for the power supply - which is mico-USB (or is it mini-USB?) so it could be fed of a TV's USB port as well.
For my mother we did try a laptop, but her tech skill are not that good (insert rant about dreadful UI in Skype on Windows), so she recently picked up a 2nd gen iPad, which is within her tech skills.
